Czechs Kvitová and Šafářová to play one another for place in Wimbledon
final

Czechs Petra Kvitová and Lucie Šafářová are set to play one another
for a place in the final at Wimbledon. Kvitová, who won the tournament in
2011, reached the last four after a 6-1 7-5 defeat of another compatriot,
Barbora Záhlavová-Strýcová, on Thursday. Šafářová has reached this
stage in a Grand Slam competition for the first time in her career after a
6-3 6-1 win over Russia’s Ekaterina Makarova. The last time two Czech
female players got to the last four in a Grand Slam tournament was at the
French Open in 1986, with Hana Mandlíková and Helena Suková. Kvitová or
Šafářová will play either the German Angelique Kerber or Eugenie
Bouchard of Canada in Saturday’s final.
